opportunity.”
“Maybe you and Stacy could talk.”
Layne rolled onto her back. “I don’t think there’s anything for us to discuss. I thought about this before I passed out last night. You know how Ronnie is. By the time they get back home, she’ll be hooking up with someone else if not sooner. So I don’t see any need in telling her what happened in Detroit. I’ll just keep my distance from Stacy.”
“That’s probably the best course of action.” Molly turned when Ronnie came through the door with a tray.
“I have toast, crackers, and a can of Sprite. I lost Jenny when Les introduced her to the sweet potato pancakes.”
Layne groaned. “That would be gross even if I weren’t hungover . Ronnie, please put that tray way over on the other side of the room,” Layne said with a weak wave of her hand. “I appreciate it, but I can’t smell food right now.”
Ronnie did as she was asked, then walked over to Layne and kissed her on the forehead. “I asked Stacy to look in on you.”
“That’s not necessary.” Layne’s head swam as she tried to sit up to show Ronnie she was fine. “I can’t handle sightseeing, but I’m not bed-bound, either. What you brought is all I need. Now you two go before you miss the van.”
“I have my phone in case you need anything,” Molly said as she stood. “Call me.”
“I will.”

“Stick seemed mighty disappointed when we told her Layne wasn’t going,” Ronnie said as she and Molly strolled the streets of Apalachicola with Jenny trailing behind. “That’s a guaranteed fling for the next two weeks. It might do Layne some good to saddle up the cowgirl.”
“I don’t think Layne’s looking for anything right now, temporary or not,” Jenny said as she joined them. “She just needs time to get herself together and jump back into the game when she’s ready.”
Ronnie spied something of interest in the window of one of the shops and grabbed Molly by the arm. Jenny followed. “Stacy wants a cat.” Ronnie picked up a stuffed orange one wearing a pair of sunglasses. “Do you think this will do?”
“You two are talking pets? That’s pretty serious in the lesbian dating world.” Jenny moved past her and picked up a glass flamingo.
“We’re not talking about moving in together. It would be her cat in her apartment.”
“You two have been spending a lot of time together. By the time we get back home, it’ll be four weeks. That equals…what? Seven months?” Jenny said with a grin. “In dog years, which is the same timing as your dating history. You’re not on the same scale as the rest of us humans.”
“I’ve kept her around so long because she’s the only woman that can keep up with me in the bedroom. She’s not interested in anything more than that.” Ronnie sighed. “I fucking love her.”
Jenny dropped the flamingo, which broke in half on the floor. She held up both hands and met the eye of the irritated woman behind the counter. “My bad, I’ll pay for it. I always wanted…a headless flamingo.”
Molly grabbed Ronnie’s arm. “You love her?”
“Not the way you’re thinking, Molly Prejean. I love the way she thinks, I love what she does to me, but I’m not in love, nothing even close to that.” Ronnie’s brow furrowed as Molly stared at her. “You know me.”
“Women in nearly every state of the Union know you. You’ll have conquered the whole country once you visit Hawaii.” Jenny waggled her eyebrows. “But Stacy has smashed all your records, and you have us wondering if you’re gonna hang up your strap-on and go into retirement.”
“Ha! Never,” Ronnie said with a grin, “and you forgot the Virgin Islands.”
“Because they’re not a state, right along with Guam.”
Ronnie shrugged. “U.S. territory, same thing.”
“You don’t feel anything for her?” Molly asked.
Ronnie seemed surprised by the question and said, “no,” flippantly before walking off.
